Toyota and Lexus have announced a recall of about 62,000 vehicles in the United States over a fault in the windshield defrosting system. The campaign covers the Toyota bZ4X electric crossover as well as the Lexus RZ300e and RZ450e. A software error in the control unit can keep the heater from properly clearing frost, ice, and condensation, which cuts visibility and raises the risk of a crash—especially when the temperature drops. It’s the kind of flaw that erodes confidence just when drivers depend on the system most.
Dealers will install a free software update, and will replace the climate system’s electric compressor if needed. The remedy is straightforward, and for owners that means a quick path to getting these EVs ready for winter duty again.
